Abstract

This chapter presents a comparison of liability/compensation systems across countries, which can be challenging because of substantial differences in tort doctrine, judicial systems, and administrative compensation mechanisms. It approaches the problem of patient injury in a healthcare system from the dual (and dueling) perspectives of system responsibility and provider culpability. The basic question that the chapter asks is this: Who should bear the economic costs of medical adverse events? The US system remains solidly anchored in the tort liability system, with its emphasis on negligence-based culpability in medical malpractice cases—but with timid moves toward enterprise liability and statutory communication and resolution programs. By contrast, the Scandinavian systems have publicly funded patient compensation funds.
医疗责任
本章介绍了各国责任/赔偿制度的比较,由于侵权原则、司法制度和行政赔偿机制的实质性差异,这可能具有挑战性。它从系统责任和提供者罪责的双重(和决斗)角度探讨了医疗保健系统中患者伤害的问题。本章提出的基本问题是:谁应该承担医疗不良事件的经济成本?美国的制度仍然牢牢地锚定在侵权责任制度上,强调医疗事故案件中基于过失的罪责,但在企业责任和法定沟通和解决方案方面表现得胆怯。相比之下,斯堪的纳维亚的医疗系统是由政府资助患者补偿基金的。
